No. In PA, if you have no income, then you do not need to file a PA return. If you had income that you were receiving while traveling and you maintained a home in PA, then that income would be taxable to PA. You are considered to be a resident of PA until you establish a home elsewhere.
You will only need to file a MA return as a part year resident reporting the income you earned while a resident of MA. Income earned or received while not a resident or physically present in either state is not taxable to either of those states.
So basically, any income you earned in December would be reported on your MA Part Year return. If you did not receive any income in December, then you would not need to file a MA return either.
